I packed up my 'Head Game' board and all the little playing pieces awhile back. If she wants to go that route, let her! I have better things to do anyway. I'd rather have a good tournament of Crazy 8's with my kids.

if she thought right now that she was not ready for a serious relationship, how long would you wait.


I would not wait another minute. That is a bad precedence to set for a realitonship. If a woman waffles then you had better move on. No matter how hard that may be.
That being everything you wrote above that being the parameters.
It sounds like you are chasing her. That is bad. Wrong precedence again.

Not ready for a relationship means she wants to interact with other men. Yes she wants to play. It, in a way, is a penalty. That's for chasing her if you want to look at it that way.

The "perfect" woman for long term would NOT be playing hard to get in the first place! That's almost as obvious as gravity...

Do you know how often women are told by friends - both male and female - that men enjoy the "chase", the "challenge", the "hunt"? And, once the chase is over, the man has his prize and loses interest. Then, it's on to the next challenge. I am not saying this is what is happening. I am just saying I have heard this repeatedly, and I am beginning to believe it may be true. My sociopathic ex-husband said to me one time, "Dont' ever let anyone know how much you care about them. When you do they will take advantage of that." Of course, I learned that he meant "I", but I really am beginning to think this is the one true thing he ever said to me.

Good golly miss Molly... It's catching them that's hard. I hate that part. Why can't women just show up at my door already chased, wined, dined, & caught?

Seriously, no. I think you're just messing with the wrong men. That's just game playing and BS. There are those of us out here who're honest.

What I find far more often are women that only want to be chased and never caught.

Life is boring without a game to play every now and then.


Notice the only time this answer is given to "a question for men," it is by a woman.

Men have hobbies, sports, videogames, jobs, crossword puzzles, whatever to keep their brains occupied. They expect their time with a woman to be fun and enjoyable in a stress-free (or at least less stressful) way. Anyone who desires difficulty from their relationships is not healthy if you ask me.

Are you sure she is playing hard to get?
I only say this because I myself am pretty dense and lack confidence
sometimes. Recently I was introduced to a guy who was REALLY hot
and I thought no way he would be interested in me. He called a few times
and we hung out once, but I honestly thought it was because the person
who introduced us was hassling him to do it (like I said...dense/idiot).
He told the mutual friend he really liked hanging out with me and would like to
do so again, but because he said it like that I thought he meant just as friends
and wasn't interested. I haven't heard from him and won't call because now I feel
like a moron because it turns out he was interested and thought I wasn't into him...

I really don't imagine there is another female out there as stupid as myself, but just
in case...consider it might be something like that as opposed to hard to get.

Most women are from Venus and all that but I think I have a special planet all to myself!!

Say, Jerrys., an emotionally healthy person doesn't play games. Mixed messages is a form of abuse. If that's what you're attracted to, it's your funeral. A little rule of thumb, healthy people are attracted to healthy people, unhealthy people are attracted to unhealthy people. A healthy person will run from and avoid an unhealthy person. People seem to seek their own emotional health equivilent. Good luck!

No one is perfect … we all could improve ourselves in an effort to be better partners. If your goal is to find the “perfect” woman, your quest will be a long and lonely one. It’s the relationship that counts. If you want a full & satisfying relationship, treat her the way you want to be treated. If she is willing to reciprocate, keep working with her to nurture your union, and maybe someday the two of you will approach the “perfect” relationship. If she just takes without giving you what you need, leave now. Life is too short to be lived in an endless search for what you need when your partner is a person that can’t or won’t provide it.

(playing hard to get.)

OP
If its a game where you don't ever know how she feels, you probably wont win...and after a little while why would you care


games like this are for people who never emotionally grow up

IF she doesnt respect you,
she will never be "in love" with you.
and if she constantly plays games/lies, she does not really respect you.

You have to be always just a little out of reach for a person like this to 'earn' their respect...and who needs a relationship like that.

((I agree..the perfect woman for you would not play you but just in case i may be mistaken, heres what I would do
You try: she pushes away...then she comes closer, you try again..and she pushes away...stop trying and look elsewhere..if she really wants you, she wont let you go to someone else))

(2)
((The perfect woman would be totaly into you and would not be playing any 'hard to get' games))

(19)
((when it comes to building a relations, better be no head games, better want a relationship for real!!))

By her actions, Not perfect for you Bro.

Thankfully, most of the women I've met are honest. Its a lot easier when you just drop the game and tell it like it is..."I'm just not that into you." or "I want to keep things the way they are."
Sure, I'm disappointed when I hear stuff like that, but at the same time I just respect them all the more for being 'real'.
The push you away, come closer game is a hallmark symptom of borderline personality disorder. I'd tell them to get counselling.

The game would last about 5 minutes for me. It's a control thing. Kinda sorta grade 8 to 10.

I concur, and don't think there's nothing to add, as it is very clear.

Here is the thing, when you say "But she showed very much that she was interested in you." I have a feeling thats your opinion. Usually girls expect guys to pick up on hints that we won't, ever. If I don't think your interested at all in me, I give up. There are enough girls who are interested, that why do I waste my time?

Now assuming that I actually am convinced that you are interested. I stop at about one month after making a serious move. If a girl is still playing games at that stage, I don't want to bother. If your still playing games, and avoiding a relationship, it probably just means you like to play games, and why do I wan't to deal with that? Chances are you're not worth the trouble. Again, there are plenty of girls who won't play such games.

I am having trouble what you are meaning by the term "hard to get" as well. It means different things to different people. If you could be more specific on the situation I might be able to be more coherent.
